3.  HARDWARE SETUP

Connectors

 

Some pins are used for connectors or power sources. These are

clearly distinguished from jumpers in  3.1 Motherboard Layout. Placing jumper
caps over these connector pins will cause damage to your motherboard.

 Ribbon cables should always be connected with the red stripe on

Pin 1 side of the connector. The four corners of the connectors are labeled on the
motherboard. Pin 1 is the side closest to the power connector for hard drives and
floppy drives. IDE ribbon cable must be less than 46 cm (18 in.), with the second
drive connector no more than 15 cm (6 in.) from the first connector.

The system will direct IRQ12 to the PS/2 mouse if one is detected. If one is not
detected, expansion cards can use IRQ12. See PS/2 Mouse Function Control
in 4.4 Advanced Menu.

PS/2 Mouse (6-pin Female)

This connection is for a standard keyboard using an PS/2 plug (mini DIN). This
connector will not allow standard AT size (large DIN) keyboard plugs.  You
may use a DIN to mini DIN adapter on standard AT keyboards.
